Microsoft SQL Server & Software Development

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a top performance database server, competing head to head with products from Oracle
and Sybase. Like all these products it works by receiving a database query via the network (or Internet), performing
it locally at very high speed, and then sending the resulting data back to the client PC. This allows much higher database
functionality on a limited bandwidth network, and makes complex applications that use enormous amounts of data possible,
even over the Internet.
